My articulated bugger fly has its origins in the hundreds of woolly bugger and woolly bugger variants that I have tied and fished with in my saltwater and freshwater fly fishing in CQ in the last 10 years or my trout fishing exploits including World, Commonwealth, Oceania and National Championships, over the last 30 years.
It doesn’t matter if your fishing saltwater or freshwater, targeting demersal or pelagic fish or that your target fish is feeding on mullet, herring, bony bream, hardyhead or some other baitfish … this is a great fly for those occasions when you need a great general search pattern.
This one is tied on a #3/0 Mustard 34007 stainless hook.
